Rising Nakshatra

Masculine Nativities

Krittika-Pleyades

Agneya * Riksya * Karthika * Alcyone

BPL commentary

For Krittika births of a masculine valence, the condition of radiant, romantic, intelligent, creative, idealistic, central, confident, gaming, self-reflexive, pitrikaraka Surya may considerably affect the outcome.

For those born into the splendidly Surya-ruled paradigm of Riksya, father-figures, politicians, celebrity, royalty, entitled roles, brilliant dramatists, radiant deities, sparkling genius, glittering creativity, intelligentsia, speculators, poets, romantic lovers, gamblers, and game-players may be especially influential.

Instructional guidance provided by emissaries from the civilizations of the Pleyades. Their purpose is confidence-raising and light-bringing in creative pursuit of values fulfillment.

Radiant Certainty

Agneya-born gentlemen are often found in politics, in gambling and speculation, or in creative finance. Natural dramatists, Riksya-born are brightly idealistic and self-directed seekers of attention.

Mesha pada 1 represents nakshatra-pati Surya's empowerment in romance and celebrity entitlements. In the rashi of Champion Mangala, sparkling Surya asserts radiant genius. Typically pada 1 are dramatists, politicians, royalty, celebrity, creative artists, and unique charismatic figures.

Vrishabha-Urisha-pada-2-3-4 express the tension between two-party bargainer Zukra versus one-party autocratic singular nakshatra-pati Surya. Often the intelligence of pada 2-3-4 is focused into the Values-fulfilling sectors of banking and finance, natural resource conservation, music, wines and perfumes, arts, and beauty. Depending on Yogakaraka Shani ruler of 9+10, the Vrishabha pada of Krittika have a stronger propensity toward government positions.

Themes of self-importance, individual entitlement, creativity, and confidence may contextualize Krittika's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Krittika-Pleyades

QUOTATION from Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra . p 80

Way to Wealth 1706-1790 printer ambassador Benjamin Franklin * uttama * BJF was attacked by loyalist agents sent via his own son William, who was working as the Colonial Governor of New Jersey

The eldest son of Way to Wealth 1706-1790 printer ambassador Benjamin Franklin was born out of wedlock, and given to foster parents until the child was an older toddler. When Franklin's second child was born into an acknowledged union, the first child was restored to the family. Later this child became a dominant political figure William Franklin governor of New Jersey (Chandra activates 5-politics and 5 contains uttama-Guru) and as a staunch royalist also a virulent enemy of his Revolutionary father. As governor, William issued a warrant for his father Ben's arrest on suspicion of sedition.

Way to Wealth 1706-1790 printer ambassador Benjamin Franklin * Zukra-yuti-Mangala * repeatedly beseeched to accept governance authority in the revolutionary regime, Franklin repeatedly declined. He was much more interested in theoretical and philosophical matters, and he enjoyed traveling back and forth to Britain as a free agent without a limiting formal agenda. He did much governance work behind the scenes (12th). Franklin provided values-based principled guidance to most of the Early American leaders (10). However, he was 30-40 years elder to most of them and his patronage (9) was fatherly (9).

Way to Wealth 1706-1790 printer ambassador Benjamin Franklin * Vriddhi-pati-11 nichha-Shani-2 creates a substantial Dhana-Yoga, and artha ruler of 2 in 10 suggests that the collected assets involve governance work. Yet nichha-Shani indicates that the work is demanding and the family of origin (2) is not supportive. Therefore, one begins with no capitalization (2) from the family coffers. It is a yoga of self-made wealth via determination and hard work with regular delays and much resistance compounded by the rulers of 4, 6, and 7 residing in bhava-11. Franklin was a prime mover of the Commonwealth of the new American Republic. He dealt with angry, blaming, intractable (Mesha-Shani) people and developed community organizations of Shani-survival and resistance such as fire-fighting brigade. In the end he died a wealthy man and left a legacy of open cross-Atlantic trade with former British enemies as well as stronger inter-trading links between the mutually suspicious and blaming individual confederated states.

Way to Wealth 1706-1790 printer ambassador Benjamin Franklin had Surya-11 ruling bhava-6 with no graha in 6 and Surya-yuti-Budha. He was a businessman who offered to help the new American Republic to negotiate the end to the enduring Revolutionary War. After the end of the war, many trade agreements were broken, and bridges burned; Franklin volunteered to restore the relationships. In the context of problematic, war-driven detente he also made commercial connections of immediate value to his own business. Whenever there was a need to repair broken relationships, Franklin was the first choice... also Simha = his 7th-from-Chandra agreements. Conditions of war, disputes, treachery, broken promises, betrayal, exploitation and injustice served to enhance his economic gainfulness it is true but the war hostilities remained throughout his lifetime. And while he died a quite wealthy man, his marital troubles never ceased.

Way to Wealth 1706-1790 printer ambassador Benjamin Franklin served (6) the economic system of the new American Republic (11) at a time of violent divorce between the American colony and its master-partner Great Britain in conditions of blaming, accusation, exploitation and greed. Because Franklin was willing to work with the angry, aggrieved victims-6 (mainly British merchants whose contracts had been guaranteed by the Crown) he was able not only to restore the post-war flow of trade but also to improve his personal economic situation.

Dad worked as a fabric dyer in England. He switched to making soap and candles when he moved to Boston age 25. Family observers recalled that dad wanted young Benjamin to be a religious minister, but instead dad took BJF our of school after only two years and indentured BJF to an elder brother who was a printer.

Surya in bhava-9 bandhesha in 6th-from-4th indicates a strong-willed father who would have been mainly concerned with his roles in household parenting (4) and social respect Surya-Makara-Draco at church (9).

CAREER - SURYA

BJF helped to lay the foundation for the huge growth of European cultural settlement in USA .

bhava-9 * doctrine * fortune * wisdom * philosophy * theory * global perspective

In a time of intolerantly sectarian catechism, BJF was an advocate of common sense in lieu of received truth.

Although open to listening to various ethical arguments, BJF was not an adherent of any particular sacred teaching nor any fixed political doctrine or any specific scientific ideology.

Chandra * matrikaraka (mother) * garha-karaka (village)

  • Chandra in Sadachbia-Varuna * calmed by mixed networks * protectors of universal mingling * soothed by risky marketplaces * needs to make expedient social connections

CAREER - CHANDRA

Marriage

"The good or ill hap

of a good or ill life

is the good or ill choice

of a good or ill wife" (Ben Franklin's letter to his son William, on the topic of marriage)

Lifepartner for Chandra-10

  • Simha-4
  • ruled by a weakened Makara-Surya-9 in 6th-from-4th.
  • 7th navamsha Makara contains Ketu
  • dissociating Ketu in classroom-7 offers a growth-challenge to contractual engagement
  • Mula-Mangala in bhava-8 * Zukra-yuti-Mangala activates yuvatibhava.
  • According to historians, free-thinking BJF was a regular customer of Philadelphia prostitutes. Deborah's opinion on this practice is not recorded. However, BJF's reputation was not tarnished due to the double protections of Vimala Yoga and Harsha Yoga

In the masculine nativity, Zukra-yuti-Mangala suggests bisexuality ++ two life-partners

  • first partnership dedicated to security and parenting (4)
  • second partnership = generally a friendship (11)

BJF had marital problems, but home-avoidance was easy and divorce was never necessary. Since BJF was never legally married, he had no concern with divorce.

  • During Ketu-Ketu svabhukti, BJF simply walked away from his common-law wife and his grown children.
  • When his wife died in Philadelphia, BJF was living in London
  • Despite the 44 years of their alliance, BJF did not return to Philadelphia for Deborah's funeral.

In 1723 (BJF age 18) Franklin had proposed marriage to DR. His suit was rejected by Deborah's mother (not by Deborah). BJF then left and worked in England for three years during which time he failed to communicate with Deborah. Ketu in classroom-7

Following her mother's wishes, DR had married another available suitor. She was swiftly abandoned by her first husband, who also absconded with her dowry and fled to Barbados. Due to the bigamy laws of the day, DR could not remarry without showing clear evidence that her husband was dead. Conclusive proof of his decease proved impossible to obtain.

In their common-law marriage, Deborah Read was loyal to BJF by all accounts. Yet, observers commented the BJF was not entirely loyal to her. The mother of his second and third children, she also raised Franklin's first son William -- who in all likelihood was in truth her biological son. She helped diligently in the printing shop and kept a welcoming house. Deborah was often ill. BJF enjoyed frequent, extended travels.

6/8 shad-ashtakya angles from Chandra-Kumbha

  • The revolutionary, emotionally turbulent, perpetually transformative, trauma-inducing 8th-from-Chandra becomes bhava-5-Kanya politics

  • Particularly during Vimshottari bhukti of Budha, one must engage with identity-transforming political conditions

  • The adversarial 6th-from-Chandra becomes bhava-3-Karkata

  • Chandra Bhukti can provoke emotional disagreements with the routinized folk culture and expected safety of commercial business enterprise (3)

  • Kuja-yuti-Zukra * dual sexuality * energized bargaining * dynamic trading * masculine force joins feminine allure * kinetic sensuality * productive arrangements * competitive mating * vigorously balance-seeking in partnership * pursues diplomatic resolutions * innovative arrangements

CAREER - MANGALA

Mula-Mangala in bhava-8 activates 7-diplomacy ++ 12-distant lands

+++ Zukra

The constitutional government (10) established by BJF and Founding Fathers was articulated in a principled fashion which left room for interpretation (Mangala activates -2) and transformation (Zukra-rules-8). Predominantly, and as a vigorous response to the overthrow of rulership by hereditary royalty, BJF's vision required that the government support a free economic system (Mangala activates 11) rather than the economic system be used primarily to support the government (10 = 12th-from-11th).

the principles of social governance which BJF helped to formulate, write, and publish in the 1770's did provide the basis for a soon-to-follow explosion of American goods, services, inventions, and ideas.

Indeed, by diverse application of these innovative principles, the USA showed what was really "new" about the New World (Mangala pioneer).

Budha * jamayah-karaka (sibling) * sandeza-karaka (message) * zisya-karaka (student)

  • Budha-Makara-Draco * bureaucratic communications * articulation of lawfully orderly process * proletarian phrasing * delivers procedure for imposing rules * descriptive explanations of the social order *  messages about governance * documentation of regulatory procedures * diagrams the hierarchies * status-conscious mentality * hands-arms-shoulders send normalizing gestures, conventional gestures

CAREER - BUDHA

Budha in bhava-9 talks about principles, convictions, beliefs

Budha occupies 6th-from-4th = adversarial to the established customs

Budha Businessman - both constrained by Shani and empowered by Rahu

Way to Wealth 1706-1790 printer ambassador Benjamin Franklin Rahu drishti into Budha-9 vidyapati ++ bandesha Surya.

BJF eschewed government office in order to retain his creative empowerments.

Consistent with the weakened bandesha Surya ++ empowered Krittika-Rahu-1, BJF was largely unimpeded by the moral conventions of his day.

Nevertheless, vidya-pati-5Budha is owned and aspected by Bharani-Shani-Meza * nichha.

At no time did Franklin endanger his own commercial-financial interests. He took a commission from negotiated deals.

BJF is remembered as an independent literary figure with a uniquely personalized (5) lifestyle.

However behind-the-scenes (Shani-12) he shepherded the financial arrangements of the fledgling nation, obtaining loans from England and France, all dealings authorized but invisible and conducted autocratically according to BJF's own style.

Guru * dhava-karaka (husband) * bahuta-karaka (variety)

  • Guru-Karkata * uttama *much shelter * many caretakers * many provisions * benevolent routines * believes in defense * permission to protect * expansive patriotism * broad understanding of local cultures * develops gardens * prosperous settlements * multiple dwellings * many patronizing parent-figures

CAREER - GURU

Generous Guru activates the literary advertising publicity oriented Meena-11 = 3rd from Budha

Uttama-Guru-3 suggests substantial financial well-being via writing-printing-documentation-publishing.

Franklin's Autobiography is an American perennial favorite, having remained in print for nearly 225 years + consistently taught in American university literature classes.

Guru ruler of 11 suggests BJF's ability to profit from the aphorisms which he snatched from the folk wisdom of the local farmers (Karkata).

BJF's eldest son was notoriously difficult, even life-threatening toward his father. His first child was born out of wedlock in approximately 1730, and to this day no scholar has been able to identify the child's mother. However, scholars speculate that William's mother was likely none other than Deborah Read who while married to another man, became Franklin's life-companion. Young William first became Ben's business partner and confidante, then later William developed into a bitter political adversary.

a remarkable feature of the Franklin family line is the impetuous production of children born outside of marriage. Not only was Benjamin Franklin the father of illegitimate William, but William himself father of an illegitimate son named Temple (mother unknown) and finally Temple himself fathered an illegitimate daughter (mother known).

Guru the secretive randhresha indicates multiplicative creativities. uttama-Guru-Karkata's ruler Chandra-Kumbha indicates his imaginative (12) engagement with the then-beginning Age of Kumbha. His inventions and improvements included:

bifocals, lightning rod, library chair, swim fins, the long reach device, Franklin Stove, urinary catheter, and Daylight Savings Time. Franklin discovered and mapped the Atlantic Ocean Gulf Stream, many properties of Storms and Lightning, and other arcane items -- all of which he shared for free (declining all patents)

For each invention-or-improvement, Franklin published its complete drawings, plans, and materials (uttama-Rahu-3 publication of unusual messages).

CAREER - SHANI

nichha-Shani-12 = inimical to marriage

Vriddhi-pati-11 creates a substantial Dhana-Yoga, but the work is demanding and the family of origin is not supportive Therefore, one begins with no capitalization from the family coffers. It is a yoga of self-made wealth via determination and hard work with regular delays and much resistance.

Judgmental Siblings

BJF had numerous siblings. As a youngster, Ben was sent by his parents to work as an indentured servant in his elder brother's printing business in Boston. Having quickly learned basic printing skills, and feeling abused by his exploitive brother, BJF broke his indenture and escaped to Philadelphia while still a teenager.

Many years later he repaired relations with his parents, but never forgave his punishing elder brother.

CAREER - KETU

BJF travelled frequently to Britain and France. Disregarding (Ketu) the customs of the day, he was known to have had extramarital romantic interests specifically in England, where he resided on-and-off for years.

BJF was an exceptionally non-dogmatic writer, displaying a level of humorous neutrality rather rare in his ideologically contentious era.

This delightful aberration is due probably to the strength of articulatory Budha and corresponding weakness of lowest-common-denominator Shani, along with Ketu-9 dispersion of catechism and dogma. Notably, BF advised his son that older women [Shani] make better partners, despite the popular beliefs being quite the contrary.

Weakness when manageable presents opportunities for growth.

Ketu-Vrizchika * the emotionally dignified , social-ordering, leadership-seeking; 10th-from-Chandra contains Ketu, suggesting his lifetime reluctance (indeed refusal) to hold elected or appointed public office -- despite his popularity with other leaders and generally with the public
